Craft Works - Let's Get Creative!

[Moonshine]

Hey Guys,

Here's my latest project - a Field Notes cover that I made for my B-I-L for his birthday.  He's a cop so this should get some use!  Nothing fantastic as far as design, but I did use blue thread in honor of his profession.  A nice, healthy coat of Obenauf's LP was applied as well to get him started off right!  Hopefully my before/after pics are helpful to those of you who want to see the effects of LP on new natural, raw leather.  As always, thanks for looking!

I picked up a couple of offcuts from Giles's scraps bin last week and made this iPhone case. Incorporating 25oz denim, old Wabash and herringbone.

Very nice Simon.

[Simon]

Thanks everyone  I may make another; if I do I'll stick it in the FS thread.
I think I may go with a couple of snaps next time as the button has already caused me to miss a call.

Hey Guys,

Here is a watch strap I made for a friend.  It’s made from the same hide that a friend gave me from his gator kill back in the summer.  This one turned out great and my friend is very pleased with the end result, which is all I could ask for!  The only thing that was tough/hard with this build was the thread – it’s not the usual diameter that I use, so I had to double it so the stitching would look right.  Hand stitching with 2 times the usual amount of thread was a pain!

Hey Guys,

Here is my latest Field Notes cover.  This one is constructed with dyed 4-5 oz. veg tan leather with 4-5 oz. veg tan horse hide pockets.  The black stitching is hard to see, but it creates a subtle look that’s very “Darth”!

Made this one for my IH-homie, natehate.  Nothing fancy, just raw veg tan leather, brass buckle and Chicago screws, but that’s a good thing!

[Seul]

Yeah: that's a beaut, moonshine!..

[natehate]
